My uncle recently had a stroke & my cousin is trying to figure out how to support his dad’s medical care & living situation. My cousin has very little support through all this. Please donate if you can or share with others who may be able to. 💛 gofund.me/f162e2fc
A reminder: The toxic culture in academia will always demand more. More time. More energy. More unpaid work. A huge lesson I’ve learnt is that you DON’T have to do it all. Contrary to what some people tell you, you don’t have to say yes to everything. #AcademicMentalHealth
We are in an extremely dangerous moment for higher ed. Claudine Gay’s resignation is a symptom not the cause. The writing has been on the wall since Reagan and too many have ignored it. Education is vital to democracy, but has been successfully reframed as a threat to most.
Learning how to survive in a racist professional environment is not the kind of workplace learning that any worker should be required to do.
Things I want for Christmas: 1. A living wage for PhD students 2. Permanent positions for post-docs 3. Work-life balance for all academics 4. Any accountability for toxic supervisors 5. Support for PhDs wanting non-ac careers
In 2023, I hope we have the political literacy to read this for what it is: an appeal to homophobes and transphobes who want to limit the freedom of transgender students. This isn’t “mind your own business”. This is “let’s force trans kids back into the closet”.
This sad little man was always waiting for an excuse to be anti-gay again. Now, he’s leaning in on restricting the freedom of transgender students. Shame on him. Shame on the CPC MPs who pretend at allyship, but have nothing to say as their leader amplifies hateful rhetoric.
Small shifts in language are one of the easiest ways to make your biology class more inclusive! We have both short and long language guides that are continually updated to help you build continuity in gendered language. buff.ly/2TX3VU4
What if students learn, but can't perform on assessments?
"If the test is so hard that most students cannot pass it, then a) they have not been taught very well, b) the test is poorly designed, or c) all of the above. Instructors who design exams like this often do so to create an illusion of rigor." @joshua_r_eyler
📣 NEW POST!!! @joshua_r_eyler shares an excerpt from his forthcoming book about grades that deals with one of the biggest perpetrators of both competition and inequity in our schools today: grading curves. @tg2chat teachersgoinggradeless.com/blog/danger-cu…
Today is both Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDoR2023) and #NationalChildDay. We lose too many trans kids to suicide, because we don’t give them the love and support they deserve. Today - and every day - let’s fight for a world where trans kids can survive and thrive.
Danielle Smith will not sit down with Albertans worried about their pension being gambled away. She will sit down Tucker Carlson, though. Give me a break… 🙄
Most people with a neurodevelopmental condition (such as ADHD or autism) also experience mental health issues. These issues aren't necessarily a result of our condition; Rather, the barriers society erects that make our lives harder deserve a significant amount of the blame
I am so tired y’all. Every day, the hate piles on. Every day, it becomes more normalized. Queer and trans people - like everyone else - deserve the freedom to be ourselves, to be treated with dignity and safe in our communities. Speak up with us. We can’t do this alone.
One can recognize that Hamas -- the group that murdered and brutalized and kidnapped and otherwise terrorized Israelis and others on 7 Oct -- is a terrorist organization and still not want Israel committing genocide against Palestinians and killing thousands of people in Gaza 😫
Anyone concerned about our democracy should be watching the Saskatchewan legislature right now. Because one must ask, why the hurry? What do they want the public not to see? Why ram through legislation that will cause “irreparable harm”? #skpoli #sask
A big part of executive dysfunction is not having control over what tasks our brains focus on or for how long. Sometimes it's struggling to get started, sometimes it's not being able to stop, and other times it's not completing the task before our brains gives up on it
